This patch fixes deadlock warning in removing/rescanning through sysfs
when CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is enabled.

The issue can be reproduced by these steps:
1. Enable CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING via defconfig or menuconfig
2. Insert Ethernet card into PCIe CH0 and start up.
   After kernel starting up, execute the following command.
   echo 1 > /sys/class/pci_bus/0000\:00/device/0000\:00\:00.0/remove
3. Rescan PCI device by this command
   echo 1 > /sys/class/pci_bus/0000\:00/rescan

The deadlock warnings will occur.

What's the purpose of the WARN_ON_ONCE? Just copied from the SCSI solution?
Can this ever happen?

I sent the patch as-is from the BSP after a short discussion with Bjorn
on IRC, mostly because it contains the description of the problem. I
don't think this is the right solution, it feels more like a hack to me,
which is why I flagged it as RFC.

Or do you think this is the correct way of solving the problem ?

Indent quoted material.  I use two spaces.

Wrap paragraph correctly or, if this is supposed to be two paragraphs,
insert a blank line between them.

Use "PCI" (not "pci") consistently in English text.

s/Referrence/Reference/

5b55b24cec4c doesn't exist.  I suppose maybe you mean 0ee223b2e1f6
("scsi: core: Avoid that SCSI device removal through sysfs triggers a
deadlock")?

Wrap paragraph correctly.

Use "SCSI" (not "scsi") consistently in English text.

Missing your Signed-off-by (as Geert pointed out).

I'm awfully wary of interfaces with only a single user.  That suggests
that there's something very special about this path, and I doubt it's
*that* special.  I grant you that sysfs_break_active_protection() is
very new (added by 2afc9166f79b ("scsi: sysfs: Introduce
sysfs_{un,}break_active_protection()")).

> +	WARN_ON_ONCE(!kn);

I don't see the point of the WARN_ON_ONCE() (also pointed out already by
Geert).

>  		return -EINVAL;

This looks wrong because you may return -EINVAL without calling
sysfs_unbreak_active_protection().

There's no point in calling sysfs_break_active_protection() if either
kstrtoul() fails or val is zero, i.e., you could do:

  if (kstrtoul(..., &val) < 0)
    return -EINVAL;

  if (!val)
    return count;

  sysfs_break_active_protection(...);
  device_remove_file(...);
  pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device_locked(...);
  sysfs_unbreak_active_protection(...);

We need some story about why we should use device_remove_file()
instead of device_remove_file_self().

We also need an explanation for why other callers of
device_remove_file_self() don't need similar changes.  They *look*
similar to this case, so we need to look at nvme_sysfs_delete(),
dcssblk_shared_store(), vfio remove_store(), s390 recover_store(),
etc, and explain why they are correct and this one is incorrect.  Or,
if they're all wrong, we need to fix them all.

Is there a way we can avoid this self-deletion situation by doing the
deletion via a workqueue item that is scheduled by remove_store() but
not executed in its context?

What's the purpose of this dev_bus_rescan_store() change?  There's no
remove here, and the changelog doesn't mention this path.

This warning occurs due to a self-deletion attribute using in the sysfs
PCI device directory. This kind of attribute is really tricky,
it does not allow pci framework drop this attribute until all active
.show() and .store() callbacks have finished unless
sysfs_break_active_protection() is called.
Hence this patch avoids writing into this attribute triggers a deadlock.
